Stuffed Halloween Jack O’ Lantern Peppers

Share

Stuffed Halloween Jack O’ Lantern Peppers are another one of my Halloween classic recipes! They are so cute with their carved out pumpkin faces! Remember to use orange peppers so they really do look like carved out pumpkins!

To make these, I start by cooking beef in a sauce flavored with Worcestershire sauce, paprika and tomato puree. I cook white rice and add this to the beef just before I stuff the peppers. While the beef is cooking, I cut the tops off the peppers and carve out scary faces in the side. So much fun!
